TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
It's too soon to start looking for another job. You know the product and
the company, and you've got a chance to take an entirely new approach to
your documentation. I've worked with Agile/Scrum teams that were run well
and loved it. Give the process a chance. Of course Agile/Scrum can be
poorly managed and you might eventually need to move on, but experience
with Agile/Scrum will look good on your resume.
